Brett Favre Made It An Entire Season Without Coming Out Of Retirement

Sports Radio Interviews " Blog Archive " Brett Favre Didn’t Miss Playing This Season Until the Playoffs Rolled Around. The entire 2011 season has come and gone, and Brett Favre didn't come out of retirement. From Sports Radio Interviews:

On looking back at the retirement process:

"It went a lot smoother than the previous three or four years. At the end of last season, I’d said in year’s past that I knew. I really knew this time. I got beat up a little bit physically, but I still felt like I could still do it, but I just felt like it was time."

There were some unsubstantiated rumors that one team or another wanted him to return, but nothing ever came of it. I thought it would take an injury to finally end his career, but it might have been the absence of Brad Childress (look out Cleveland) that did it. Maybe now the Packers can finally plan for that long ago cancelled ceremony.

There should be a powerful, appropriate ceremony

for the last “journalist” who retires the concept of squeezing every last drop of a “story” from this person.

I would even suggest that, until Favre:

1. Is inducted into the Hall of Fame
2. Is inducted into the Packer Hall of Fame
3. Dies

there just doesn’t seem to be a need to bring him up, IMO. I get that “news” is newsworthy if people want to know about it. When will that day come for enough people to justify such a “retirement” from the journalists?
